Review: A Home from Home Two Hours from Shrewsbury

My Shrewsbury editor Claire Pocock spent two nights in a static caravan at Min-Y-Don Holiday Park in Harlech, Wales. The park is located between Harlech Beach dunes and Snowdonia mountains, a two-hour drive from Shrewsbury. The family of four stayed in a Willerby Severn with two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a living area. The park is open March to January and offers a children's play area, football pitch, bike track, laundrette, free Wi-Fi, and a dog walking area. Min-Y-Don is part of the Salop Caravan Sites group, sister company to Shrewsbury-based Salop Leisure.

Gozney Arc Lite: compact gas pizza oven for camping

Gozney has launched the Arc Lite, a compact gas pizza oven aimed at campers and travelers. Priced at €399.99, it features a cordierite stone and simple knob control. In IMTEST's review, the oven demonstrated excellent temperature stability (only 1 °C variation over 30 seconds) but struggled with cooking: at maximum heat (~400 °C), the crust burned while the dough remained undercooked. Optimal results require 300–350 °C and frequent turning. No accessories are included; a basic set (peel, thermometer, cover) costs nearly €200 extra.
